An instructor pilot and his student died when the small plane they were in crashed at a Massachusetts airport, according to authorities.
Mansfield police said 31-year-old Sydney Miti of Waltham and 18-year-old Julian Lattermann of Dover were killed on impact.
Authorities didn’t say who was flying the Cessna 172. New England Cable News reported it had taken off from Norwood Airport around 11:30 a.m. Authorities said it crashed 15 miles away about an hour later at the Mansfield Airport.
State police and the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate, and the National Transportation Safety Board will determine the cause.
The Mansfield airport is about 45 miles south of Boston.
